Portrait Photographer Kent – Tim Hensel
Hi, I’m Tim Hensel – the finest portrait photographer Kent, Folkestone and the surrounding areas have to offer. My studio nestles comfortably within Folkestone’s thriving Creative Quarter. I can also travel across the county or into London and beyond, in pursuit of your dream shoot.
Outstanding Kent Portrait Photography
Finding the perfect portrait photographer Kent way, and indeed elsewhere, can be a personal process.
You need photos which stand out from the crowd and capture your uniqueness. And most of all, you need photos you’ll be buzzing with excitement to post on social media, share with your family and friends, feature proudly on your profile, in your photo albums, on your walls or on your phone.
Pet Portraits and Family Portrait Photography
As well as individual shoots, I also provide pet and family photography – check out the details on my dedicated page.

Portrait Photography You’ll Want to Show Off
Whether solo, with family or for a pet, portrait photography is, and should be, very personal to the subject. You’ll want it to look natural. You’ll want to feel your best. And most of all, it must catch and reflect your character, all the good things about you and your personality that everyone recognises and loves. In short, it has to be ‘you’.
Browse my Portrait Photography Portfolio
A photographer’s approach is as unique as you are. So, you’ll want to be sure that you’re working with a professional who can get a feel for your character, listen to your ideas and deliver what you’re looking for from your portrait photography session.
This is why I make these examples of my finest portrait work available to browse, so you can get a feel for my style, approach and recommendations. And if you’d like a chat beforehand, my (virtual) door is always open.
Why Choose Me?
This is my website, so this is no place for modesty. With over 15 years of experience under my belt as a portrait and wedding photographer, I love what I do. And I truly believe that reflects in your photographs.
Hailing from a family of artists, creativity runs in my blood. I’m also a thoroughly decent chap and won’t make you say “cheese”. Promise. I don’t even like cheese.
Much like a wedding, it’s important to feel that you can trust your photographer with your shoot and ideas.

Visit my dedicated family portrait photography studio, Folkesetone.
From experience I know that the more comfortable you are, the better photographs we’ll produce. That’s why I created my own custom family portrait photography studio, featuring dedicated design to make your time with us as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
Situated in a quiet, leafy suburb of South Manchester, my dedicated studio is specially designed for family portrait photography. Fully equipped, secure and safe, it’s the perfect setting for family portraits, pet portraits, headshots and more.
A safe, secure environment
In the studio we have welcomed Families, Local Businesses, CEO’s of Bluechips, Newborns, Labradors, Sculptors and other photographers!
Our studio lends itself perfectly to family portrait photography – but also to corporate headshots, product photography, promotional videos, passport photography and more. We love pet portraits and pet photography – and one of my other specialisms is Autism. I’m proudly Autism-friendly – certified by Aukids Magazine, offering dedicated family portraits for children with additional needs. I’m proud to have been the photographer for Aukids magazine since 2012.
